This chapter is dedicated to 'FabianRutterFan', who is the writer of the story 'Across the Ocean'! I really enjoy reading that one, so take a peeksie!

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Chapter Four

Amber's POV

Around five in the morning, I slowly snuck out of Alfie's room, and into mine. I had fallen asleep right after he told me nobody screamed, but I wasn't completely convinced. But that was hours ago, and I'm sure whatever it was, it didn't matter anymore.

Victor was asleep in his office, and I quietly moved passed it, heading into the girls' hallway. (I didn't understand why he slept here anyways, didn't he have a home? I know he's old and in need of lotion, but shouldn't he have a wife and kids? But gross, that would mean that he would have had to have had sex. Who would want sex with Victor? Ew!)

Once I realized I'd gotten distracted, I threw the idea out of my head, and put my mind back on the mission. I then slowly opened the door to Nina's and my room. I felt slightly bad about leaving her yesterday, but I didn't want to say no to Alfie's plans. He already had the popcorn and candy set out, I couldn't resist!

I decided not to go back to bed, and to get ready, so I flipped on the lights.

That's when I realized the scream had come from the in thehouse.

Fabian's POV

I was up early, I wasn't sure why, but I just was. Sometimes my mind woke me up, but usually there was a reason behind it. This time, it just seemed like nothing. Maybe I had had a bad dream, and just couldn't remember it.

I decided to go get something to eat; five in the morning was the best time to do so. Nobody was downstairs yet, so the food was easy to take. In about an hour, you would hardly be able to grab yourself an apple without chaos.

I would have started playing my guitar, but both Eddie and Mick were asleep. That's right; people were in our room now. They added an extra bed, making the room extremely cramped. I personally didn't mind them both in the room, but Mick and Eddie seemed to have some sort of disagreement with each other. I have yet to figure it out.

I cautiously made my way to the kitchen, trying to keep quiet. If I knocked something over, everyone would rush in, and I would lose my chances.

Suddenly, a scream bounced off all the walls. I wasn't sure who it came from, but I was positive it was from upstairs. I quickly ran out of the room, and raced upstairs. Mara was already out in the hallway, seeming confused. It must have been Amber… or Nina.

Nina… What if she was hurt? What if that guy came and took her away? This would be entirely myfault; I didn't try hard enough to keep her safe!

I sprinted over to Amber and Nina's door, and nearly opened the door.

Amber was standing still, seeming to be frozen in place. Her eyes were glued to Nina's bed, which she was absent from. Taking her place was blood, soaked straight into the sheets. There was also a towel lying on the floor, drenched in some substance.

Also near Nina's bed, the window was broken, and glass covered the floor. I dropped the apple from my hand, and Amber turned to face me. Her eyes were already puffy, and tears were free-falling down her cheeks.

Mara made her way into the room, followed by Joy and Patricia. I could hear them gasp from behind me, but I couldn't find any words.

He took her.

He freaking took her.

Nina was up here struggling, and I was asleep, dreaming about whatever the hell I was dreaming about. How did I not hear what was going on? How did Mara, straight down the hallway, not hear a peep come from Nina's mouth? How did she manage to disappear without any one of us noticing?

"Dammit, this is my fault!" I murmured angrily, before my rage got the best of me, and my fist pounded on to the wall. Amber's gaze immediately shot over to me, as well as the other three girls.

They never expect me to lash out; they think I'm this quiet, geek sort of person. I mean, I am that person, but when someone messes with Nina, or really any of my friends, that person is gone. He isreplaced with someone who seeks revenge, and is willing to do anything to get Nina or one of his other friends back.

My hand felt numb at first, but soon a pain surged through it, making me grimace. I could already see my knuckles turning a mix of purple and blue.

"I'm going to go get Trudy." Mara murmured behind me, quietly exiting the room. Joy left with her; I didn't want her presence anyways. She hated Nina, and I doubt she cared one bit that she was gone. She was probably happy about it, which sickened me.

How was I going to get Nina back? With all the mysteries we had, they always started with a clue. There was absolutely no clue here, just blood and a towel, soaked with what seemed to be chloroform.

"Want me to go get you ice, Fabian?" Someone asked from behind me, and I turned to face them. It was Patricia, who had a sympathetic, but sorrowful expression hung on her face. I knew she cared about Nina, even though at the beginning, they weren't very fond of each other. But she never really stooped to Joy's level, Joy went too far.

I nodded silently, and Patricia exited the room.

"Do you know anything of what happened? Did she talk about anything suspicious?" Amber questioned, with calmness and consideration in her voice. That's another thing I enjoyed about Amber, she cared for people. Another trait Joy lacked.

But I didn't want to answer that question. I knew the answer, but I wasn't going to admit it. First off, she would kill me for looking in Nina's diary. But second, she wouldn't be able to do anything with the information. A hooded man? How was that going to get us anywhere?

"She knew something was wrong." I mumbled, before leaving the room myself. I couldn't stand to look at the scene any longer.

Haha, VERY early update. It's three AM xD Happy Summer!

Aww, angry Fabian shows up. Just like the season three beginning. I never watched past the TeenNick change, it just doesn't entertain me anymore. But if Nina comes back for the possible season four, I will be all excited and happy. FABINA! If they break Fabina up, I will kill them… Oh wait, they are already broken up… If they don't get them back together, then I will murder them! There we go, that works!

Yeah... That's not going to happen. But Fara is! ... {Dies}

Hehe, I would never murder anyone. I would just sulk in the corner…

Want to see the next chapter early? Well, you can't see it all, but I will grant you the wish of a preview! Send me a review, and a preview will magically appear in your inbox! Yay for you, an advance ticket into the show!

We were one review off of getting the early release, so close :/. But I'm keeping the number at nine! Damn, I'm never going to reach my goal... I'm also disappointed that only eight people are following this story. Once again, I don't want to be an attention-seeking whore, but I really thought this story would be enjoyed... Just slightly disappointing :/

Also, I now have a trailer up for 'Just a Pawn'! Check it out on my profile :) And a surprise trailer will be posted soon, for a special story coming out! Hehe! Plenty of you will be excited ;)
